You’re right. The link below is not the only place I’ve seen the quote cited, just the first I found in a hurry.
The host asked Thiel ‘You would prefer the human race to endure, right?’
Thiel hesitated, doing some umm-ing and ahh-ing, even at one point saying ‘I don’t know’.
The billionaire went on to clarify and said: “Yes [I would like us to endure] but I also would like us to radically solve these problems.

Yeah totally, now is not the time to bring this up. Just like Trump saying “you’ll never need to vote again.” Or that Nazi salute that Musk did that wasn’t really a Nazi salute when he did it, but now we all can acknowledge it was.
Once our Lord and Savior Peter Thiel has ascended after sacrificing us all for our mortal sins, then we can acknowledge this.

It was 100% a nazi salute

Dont be a dick, people arent simping for Thiel just because they think the article you posted is over interpreting a single pause.

Simping is the least we can do for our Lord and savior, who has never done anything else to indicate his ultimate goal in life is to achieve immortality no matter the cost, other than hesitate when asked directly during this specific interview if he was rooting for survival of humanity.

If we simp our hardest we might have the privilege of being frozen and placed in his space coffin with him in order to serve him into the next life, or chosen to be ground up in order to serve as his personal biofuel as he travels through space. 🚀
It’s like that old saying, shoot for the 🌝 Even if you miss, you’ll still land among the ✨
